Funny iv not heard of pumps die like that.

apparently the TRUE's are very good and can keep up with most low-mid range water cooling setups

just do it justice and put a couple of noctua's on for the push/pull effect, and it would be worth lapping the heat sink and the cpu itself for the best performance

it got a bit noisy the last two days then it just gave up the ghost today

Unlucky, Laings are rated for extremely heavy duty so you've been an exception. Is it not still under some kind of warranty?

I had one fail on me - turned out that one of the screw threads actually cracked and then slowly let water in

The TRUE should be fine - Phenom II is very cool running, as long as you have decent airflow through the case it'll keep it well under control.
